Which one gets done faster? Boiling a pot of soup, or frying some vegetables?

Your question can actually be answered by the concept of Heat Capacity in Physics. The amount of Specific Heat Capacity for water is very immense, which means water can absorb a lot of heat. True that water gets evaporated as temperature rises and once water reaches 100 deg C, it gets boiled, but it will take quite an amount of time before it reaches the boiling point.

If Water is weak to Fire, it defies how fire fighters use water hose, and also why car engines are cooled with water...... much more.
